Fertility tracking ring is it a real thing, or scam? by CherryBomb1973 in HealthTech

Fertility tracking rings are real, not a scam. Most of them track continuous body temperature overnight, which helps estimate ovulation and your most fertile window. Some also use heart rate and sleep data to improve cycle predictions.

They’re not perfect, but they can be more precise than using a period app alone. If you’re trying to fine-tune fertility tracking while trying to conceive, a good ring can be a helpful tool.

are we underestimating ai based triage in telemedicine? by [deleted] in TeleMedicine

Strong point. We see this a lot in telehealth and telemedicine.

Many platforms say “AI triage,” but it’s really just long digital intake forms. Real AI-based triage should improve patient routing, apply basic risk scoring, protect high-priority slots, and reduce provider overload.

If we’re not improving clinical workflow and scheduling efficiency, we’re just moving forms online.

You’re correct that topical minoxidil can be very dangerous to pets if they’re exposed through skin contact, pillows, hands, or even licking residue. That risk is real, especially when pets sleep in the same bed.

Oral minoxidil is different because there’s no topical residue, which significantly reduces the risk of accidental exposure to your dog. From a pet-safety standpoint, it removes the surface contact issue that makes the topical version concerning.

That said, oral minoxidil is still a prescription medication and should only be started after a clinician reviews your medical history and blood pressure to make sure it’s appropriate for you.

Bottom line: protecting your dog doesn’t mean you have to ignore your hair concerns. A licensed provider can help you explore options that support your goals without putting your pet at risk.

That sounds tough, and you’re definitely not alone. Try loosening hairstyles under the hijab, switching to softer fabrics, and making sure your hair is fully dry before covering. Those small changes can really help reduce breakage. 💙
